From the proposals from this moron for six year olds to have the vote, we get an example of what we could expect.
I would like pets for free so we can all look after them properly to make us all happy.
From the magic money tree, of course.
I think we should ban school uniform because it’s too hot sometimes to wear it.
Because no one should have to be exposed to any standards.
We should get free sweets because they are yummy and will make us happy.
Sigh… It goes on like this. We don’t give children the vote because they are not mature enough to wield it responsibly.
They should ban the television because it is bad for your eyes and instead of watching TV we should play with our pets.
Of course we could expect children to want to ban things they don’t like.
They should ban alcoholic drinks because sometimes people get drunk and do bad stuff like stabbing and also they get a hangover, which is like being ill.
See?
Ban tablets because people always play on them and that can hurt your eyes and stop you from talking with your family.
See?
And the cretins plying for votes would be only too happy to oblige.
We should get people to learn how to be kind and respectful to make sure that bullying never happens.
Because, of course, everyone deserves respect. Fuck me!
Swearing should be illegal because it is very bad and rude.
Fuck!
No, children should not be given the vote and this little exercise makes the point perfectly.
I’m not sure how those ideas really differ from the typical Guardian nonsense.
This is true.
You beat me to it Andrew, my first thought was that there are plenty of adults who think like this. Comrade Corbyn only has to promise them free sweeties and he’ll be straight into number 10.
All joking aside, that’s what the Labour Party does – promises free sweeties paid for by other people. Until they run out of other people’s money.
hehehehe…I got nuthin…
I too have nothing; but at least I’ve got plenty of it (in common with Ella).
